Best for intermediate divers, 5-40m, boat entry, moderate current.
Susac is a remote island site in South Dalmatia offering a diverse range of topography including walls, reefs, caves, and drift sections. Divers can explore depths ranging from 5 to 40 metres, with an average depth of 25 metres. Visibility is consistently 30 metres. Due to the site's exposure, boat access is required, and moderate currents can shift unexpectedly. The water temperature remains between 14 and 18 degrees Celsius, necessitating appropriate thermal protection. Given the depth profile and potential for strong currents, this site is suited for intermediate divers who can manage bottom time and monitor for nitrogen narcosis at depths exceeding 30 metres.

Nitrogen narcosis becomes a real factor below 30 metres here, so plan your deepest section early and ascend before your thinking slows. Access is boat-only, so confirm current conditions with your operator before descending as currents can shift considerably around the island.
The site is located on the island of Susac and is accessible via liveaboard.
